Jesus Christ, some people are so entitled.

I want YouTube to be free! I want my YouTube ad free! I want my adblocker free! I want support and devs for my free adblocker to be on top of everything and to make sure I never have to watch an ad and never pay a dime on the Internet!

I live in a major US city and I refuse to use Apple maps for navigation. In the past year, I've tried it every so often and it has taken me to the wrong place, on strange, longer routes, and tried to take me through roads that don't even exist. The traffic information is also terribly inaccurate.

So no, maybe in some cities it works, but its still a pile a garbage compared to Google maps.

Unfortunately, you, I and probably most people here are the outliers. The enshitification happens because 90% of consumers can't live without their things and will repeated hand companies money over and over while they deliver less and less.

Googler here. You are correct. Internally google groups are the easiest way to create adhoc project groups and support / announce lists. We have everything from music related lists, to stuff like vim/emacs user groups

Buying a real camera was the best travel decision I've made. Everyone thinks phone cameras are just as good until you actually get a decent camera. And they are just as point and click. Seriously, phone travel photos are garbage in comparison.

Not at all, it's a breath of fresh air. It's much less of a check buganizer, check email, write code, push CL cycle. Work is very project focused with high flexibility, my current team isn't even pushing to g3 and using different build systems entirely just because we wanted some more flexibility for example, and it doesn't matter as long as we are getting results.

The problems are a lot more technical though and I don't see a lot of L3s being able to work in the environment as it requires a lot more intuition and experience.

I usually work 45hours a week, but I don't mind it. Plus I'm 100% WFH here cause my management isn't dealing with in office bs.

I thought so too, but since then I moved over to Cloud and things are a LOT better.

That's great and all, but the quality difference is 100% there and there is absolutely nothing wrong with paying developers to make great software.

I have no problem paying for great software. There is an obvious quality difference between the two and it's completely worth it.

Two things that work OOTB with Plex, might I add.

I paid for lifetime over 7 years ago. So, I'm not worried about that.

Jellyfin is still so far behind Plex in media organization and just general reliability and polish.

Also, Plexamp is by far the best music player to exist right now.

KeepassXC has a ways to go still before I can trust it. I just attempted to use it again, after a few years, and syncing the DB across google drive randomly caused all of my entries to be erased. No recovery, nothing. just opened the DB one day and all of my saved notes and passwords went poof.

It's a know bug, but the fact that it still exists really shows how much the devs care about making it a really rock solid alternative. I've never had this issue with Google passwords, 1password or any other provider.
